Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Pumpkin Pecan Delight.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). While the oven warms up, grab a 9x13-inch baking dish and give it a good greasing to ensure your dessert comes out easily later on.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, eggs, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir everything together until it's smooth and well blended. This mixture is the heart of your dessert, so make sure it's mixed thoroughly!
Step 3
Pour this luscious pumpkin mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Now, take the yellow cake mix and sprinkle it generously over the top of the pumpkin layer. Don't worry about being perfect; the cake mix will create a delightful crust as it bakes.
Step 4
Next, drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix. This step is crucial as it will help create that rich, buttery flavor that pairs so well with pumpkin.
Step 5
Finally, sprinkle the chopped pecans on top of the butter layer. These will add a wonderful crunch and nutty flavor to your dessert.
Step 6
Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven and let it bake for about 1 hour. You'll know it's ready when a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible!
Step 7
Once baked, allow your pumpkin delight to cool slightly before serving. This dessert is best enjoyed warm, but it can also be served at room temperature. Enjoy every bite of this fall-inspired treat!
